Valentina Rodionenko has announced the Russian team for the European Games. She confirmed Valery Alfosov’s prediction that David Belyavskiy, Vladislav Poliashov, and Dmitri Lankin will be sent for MAG. For WAG, as expected, Aliya Mustafina and Angelina Melnikova got two out of the three spots and the last spot should be decided by the end of the week. The latest training camp at Round Lake has started this week.
As usual, Rodionenko commented on Mustafina’s gymnastics progress, although this time, she, thankfully, refrained from commenting on the gymnast’s looks:
“Mustafina’s ready to compete at the European Games. But her level of gymnastics is still not the one she’s capable of. Aliya really wants to compete there. Also, Angelina Melnikova was included on the team for the European Games. A decision has not yet been made regarding the third gymnast. We’ll decide it by the end of the week.”
